I was asked by Lover.ly - ( a great wedding website for brides to collect ideas and organise their weddings) - to put a makeup look together for some of their wedding dresses. This was something I was excited about as I could choose any look I wanted to match the dress….. I chose the dress below to coordinate a look for , as I love the move away from the traditional wedding dress and into something more sexy and wearable. I love colour on the eyes when used properly and this dress was the perfect opportunity to show how this could be done, with those gorgeous lilac ombre ruffles - I wanted the softness of this colour to be translated in the eyes. With a soft black line under the eyes and along the upper lash line, it gives a slight smokiness to the look which is stunning. ( Notice how the black line only goes half way under the eye so as not to close the eye and make it look too harsh). Also the lips are left quite neutral so that the eyes are the focal point. It's a look that is not your typical bridal look but , in keeping with the dress, a look that says sexy and classy on your special day. It is also something that works well for both blondes or brunettes.

I take inspiration from my friends and women I meet in my work. These women are the reason I started this blog , so that I can pass on my knowledge and help women to keep looking, and feeling amazing . I love finding new looks that inspire and you can adapt to your own style . I am also a mum with 3 boys which keeps my life very busy ... and never dull as anyone who knows me will attest to!
